Hola, soy Mila.
I’m a Latina, born in Rochester, New York although I grew up in Montevideo, Uruguay, by the ocean.
Both my parents are from South America. Colombian on one side, Uruguayan on the other.
While growing up in Montevideo, I was introduced to the arts by the age of 6, including dance, ballet, ceramics, and piano. Painting was the one that captured my soul and I’ve been painting ever since.
Prior to moving to the U.S., I lived in Buenos Aires for a couple years before ultimately moving to Denver which has been my home for the last 13 years. I share my life with my dog Oso, who is my plus one almost everywhere I go. Our favorite is when we go on long road trips or bike around in the city.
I love traveling, spending time outside and in different cultures — they nourish me as an artist.
